This course will discuss preliminary findings from the Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) study, a large-scale randomized, controlled trial designed to determine if treating hearing loss in older adults could reduce cognitive decline that can precede dementia. Dr. Lin will present key results from the study, discuss implications for clinicians, researchers, and the public-at-large, and recommend areas where additional research should be focused.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Attendees will be able to describe the population studied by the ACHIEVE trial
- Attendees will be able to describe preliminary findings from the ACHIEVE study
- Attendees will be able to describe areas where additional research is needed
